Sanctions slapped on 19 individuals and nine organisations including popular singer Joseph Kobzon, Russian military leaders and Ukrainian separatists
The EU has sent a tough message to President Vladimir Putin that it intends to keep up the pressure over Ukraine by slapping sanctions on three senior Russian military leaders, prominent Ukrainian separatists, and a popular singer known as Russia’s answer to Frank Sinatra.
The sanctions, officially termed “restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine”, were imposed on 19 individuals and nine organisations on Monday, despite last week’s Minsk peace deal and a shaky weekend ceasefire in eastern Ukraine.

Russian resurgence: how the Kremlin is making its presence felt across Europeby Ian Traynor in Paks, Hungary, and Shaun Walker in Moscow
Moscow is influencing policy and shaping opinion all over the continent, with ties to both the far right and the hard left
Coming off the early shift at Hungary’s sole nuclear power station, on the Danube south of Budapest, Jozsef, a 30-year-old turbine engineer, is grateful to have a relatively secure job that pays considerably more than the national average.
Hungarians have never been big fans of the Russians. But Jozsef knows whom he has to thank for his job security – Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, who is making a rare visit to an EU country with a trip to Budapest on Tuesday.
Now, like in the old days, it’s an advantage for a Hungarian diplomat to have studied in Moscow

Russian Government Downsizing Weakens Both Putin and the Liberals But May Help the Leftby paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)
Paul Goble
Staunton, February 16 – Downsizing of government institutions and the firing of part of their staffs “threatens both liberals and the existing powers that be,” according to the editors of “Nezavisimaya gazeta,” the first by depriving them of state support and the second by undercutting the support such people had been giving to the state.
In a lead article, the editors say that reductions in the staff of government institutions at the central and regional levels may in some cases be as much as 30 percent, and they note that this is not happening for ideological reasons but rather is something the economic situation has forced the government’s hand to do (ng.ru/editorial/2015-02-13/2_red.html).
When people lose their government jobs, their views are likely to be “transformed, partially or quite essentially,” shifting from a view that society must rely on the state to one that holds that society should have greater independence from it since the state as an institution has proven unreliable to them personally.
Such people, “Nezavisimaya gazeta” says, are “a potential electorate for liberal political parties.” But at the same time, because the economy is in crisis, many who lose their government positions may find it difficult if not impossible to obtain analogous ones in the private sector, adopt leftist views, and demand that the state assume a larger role than it has now.
But in both cases, “they will cease to be loyal to the existing authorities,” and they will contribute to a shift in the definition of what constitutes success in Russia. “The model of the successful individual in Russia during the last decade has been not that of the businessman but that of the bureaucrat or employee of a state corporation.”
For most of the past 15 years, the paper says, “the political strategy of the ruling elite has been about marginalizing and weakening in every possible way the liberal parties,” and taking away from the left many of its “cards” by promoting, often in “extravagant” and extremely costly ways.
The authorities largely succeeded with regard to the liberals and, as long as high oil and gas prices gave them the resources to make and fulfill promises, also worked with the left. But “the possibilities for the authorities to purchase the loyalty of citizens is not unlimited,” something that made the second part of the strategy more risky and ultimately impossible.

Tensions Mount in Europe After Copenhagen Attacksby webdesk@voanews.com (Lisa Bryant)
Police in Denmark have jailed two people suspected of helping an assailant responsible for two shootings in Copenhagen, the motives of which are already being compared to similar Islamist-inspired attacks in France last month. The shootings have drawn condemnation across Europe as an assault on free speech and democratic values. Flags flew at half staff in Copenhagen and piles of flowers lay in front of the cultural club and the city's main synagogue where the shootings took place. These images are strikingly similar to those in Paris last month, after three assailants killed 17 people in back-to-back shootings. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo traveled to Copenhagen to express her solidarity with the city and its people. She and the city's mayor, Frank Jensen, vowed to defend free speech and democracy. Danish media have identified the suspected gunman in the Copenhagen attacks as 22-year-old Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein. Police shot him dead early Sunday outside an apartment building after he opened fire on them. Like the Paris shooters, El-Hussein came from a Muslim family and he had a prison record. Danish security services say he may have been inspired by the Paris attacks. The targets for the Copenhagen attacks were similar to those in Paris, where gunmen attacked a satirical magazine and a kosher supermarket. The response has also been similar. Danish police have been out in force following the attack. In Paris, more than 10,000 soldiers continue to guard sensitive places. In a radio interview Monday, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the threat is particularly high in Europe and that France will remain on high alert. The attacks have particularly alarmed the Jewish communities in both countries. The desecration of several hundred Jewish tombs in France's Alsace region on Sunday has added to the concern. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu invited European Jews to Israel, saying the country would welcome them with open arms. In France, Prime Minister Valls criticized Netanyahu's remarks as regrettable - and unjustified, even during the middle of an election campaign in Israel. The place for French Jews, Valls said, is France. In Copenhagen, Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt has delivered the same message to Jews in Denmark.
